Watermelon Red Sox
OMFG I can accept marketing and licensing but holy crap do we have to find some one to tell the Sox what is just plain wrong!!!
Scratch and sniff?
You know, my 9-year-old loves her pink hat, and I happily wore one while doing the 3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer in Minnesota a few years back (around here, I stick to the classic model). But I just can't get behind scratch and sniff watermelons. I do not want to train my child to scratch and sniff anything that can be found on a baseball cap.
that's just disgusting.
that's just disgusting.
When you scratch and sniff
When you scratch and sniff mine, it smells like beer, hair gel and sweat.
Pink hats are peachy
I worked at Fenway for 13 seasons. The people who complain about pink hats are the same people who stop coming when they are in a slide. Regurgitating the morning sports columns, they yell the loudest, except for the drunk guy who is about to be tossed. They are the humorless. The dour. The wet blankets of Fenway Park. It's a pink hat, have some fun it's just a ballgame.
Turn in your card
You have no idea what you're talking about. The ones who WEAR the pink hats are the ones who will disappear as soon as this team hits a skid big enough to shake them. They're the ones who sign up for "Red Sox Nation" to be a part of the in-crowd.
I hate pink hats as much as I hate our new Yankees-esque road uniforms. I'll be the last one to ever have my partial-season tickets ripped from my cold dead hands and I think the fact that I still wish for Papi to hit a homerun at every at-bat labels me as clinically insane...but at the very least, in good humor and certainly not dour.
These watermelon hats are just completely detached from any branding of the team. They're above and beyond a dilution of the franchise and just straight. up. mockery. of the good name "Red Sox".
Attack on 'pink hats' misguided
You can't be a long-time veteran Red Sox fan unless you were once upon a time a neophyte (even 'bandwagon') fan.
